The "plot" is an All-American Military family joining an overbearing Jewish family as they attend their gay daughters wedding and wild reception. The party begins as “wedding guests” arrive and mingle at the bar area where appetizers and cocktails are served. Family members also mingle and greet patrons who are soon escorted into the “church” for the "Almost holy union" of the two young lovers Joni Gottlieb, a Jewish sports enthusiast, and Gina Spaulding, the sentimental daughter of a rigid military family. The show is rounded out by an eclectic and fun cast of characters who provide plenty of "laughs" for everyone. Fact|date=December 2007 After dinner, wedding cake and champagne are served; the real "fun" begins. Guests participate in a not-so-traditional bouquet toss, learn to line dance, dance the Hora and lots of "surprises". The three-ring circus commences as everyone participates in a sing-a-long finale.

Obviously you will realise by now that whoever "wrote" this article needs to learn the correct "context" in which to use "speech marks".
